Spicy Bibimbab
Lorain K.

From the first moment I walked pass this restaurant it looked very inviting. We waited about 15 minutes in line before we got seated, but it was worth the wait Quick and good service Good food presentation Food is very tasty Very friendly staff Pleasant ambience In short: if ever I'm back in Paris, I would definitely go back to On The Bab

Ilang - The bulgogi beef

I totally forgot to give my review for this disappointing service restaurant. We had such a…read morehorrible experience here. The food is really great. We were so happy to find this restaurant at first. But on our second visit, they put us in the upstairs area KNOWING it would close within 30 mins. We thought the restaurant was closing in 30 so we ate super fast. Despite doing so, they rushed us twice. After going downstairs we saw many customers still downstairs and was told that only upstairs was closing. WHY DID YOU PUT US UPSTAIRS THEN? We complained to the server and owner, both of them just shrugged. We are Asians - my husband is Korea actually. This is so embarrassing when our own kind in a foreign country treats people this way. I do not recommend coming here until their attitude improves.

After 4 days in Paris, we needed a break from French cuisine, so we ended at Ilang, which was near…read moreour hotel and had decent reviews. The restaurant was quite busy, and there is seating on two floors. We sat on the ground level, cooled off with some Cass beers, and ordered away. Definitely get the spicy squid - it was very flavorful, spicy without kicking your butt, and oh so tender. Skip the Korean fried chicken, which had an odd texture. While we didn't have the largest assortment of banchan, they were all quite good. The haricot vert was a little odd, as I have never had that in Korea, but I guess it makes perfect sense in Paris :). Prices are very reasonable, and service was fast. Definitely a nice spot for Korea food in a convenient location.

Little Seoul is a cute little spot tucked away in Passage Choiseul. I've been craving bibimbap and…read morewas glad to have stumbled upon this. Unfortunately, they don't offer hot stone bowls, so the rice was not crispy. I hope they add this option to their menu because I would pay extra for it. I got their lunch set and it was totally worth it for less than 13€ (the price depends on which entree you pick). The vegetable fried dumplings were small but delicious. I was so full at the end and couldn't even finish. The only thing I wish they did was to not "dilute" the spiciness, but this is my second time eating Korean food in Paris and we noticed in general the spicy level is much more mild here than in Korea or the States. My friend ordered tteok-bokki and it came out more orange than red. I also used a lot of the sauce for my bibimbap, but still couldn't taste any spicy.

I don't know why this place has such high ratings because the food isn't very good. Seating wise,…read morethe place looks small but they have an upstairs seating section with their own waiter who speaks English and French. We ordered the fried chicken which was delicious but the meat could have been better quality. For the meal, I ordered the kimchi stew which was way way way too sweet and my boyfriend got the dolsot Bobimbap and he found it very plain. Our meals each came with three side dishes and a starter of choice. We both got the ravioli and it was super dry, like they just reheated it. The food came out crazy fast so this really is questionable. The check came out to be 32€ so the prices are low but there isn't much to write about in terms of taste. Bathrooms are located downstairs. I'll probably come try the rice cakes with ramen but I wouldn't come back for anything else.

This was a fairly decent Korean meal in Paris…read more Reservations can be made on their website if you have basic French language skills. This is highly recommended as it's a small place, and they accepted very few diners without reservations on the night we visited. The interior is quite simple, but the staff were very friendly and spoke pretty good English. There is a tiny restroom upstairs. We each had the "opera" set menu which included fried dumplings, soup, and a choice of entrees. Everything was quite decent. The dumplings were hot and crispy with tasty filling but seemed like they were store bought and not made in house. The soup was decent but a bit bland. I had the bulgogi for my entree which was grilled at the table. It was also decent but not particularly flavorful. It was tender though. Overall a perfectly decent meal for your Korean fix in Paris.

Lucky to have gotten the last table available cos I couldn't walk anymore from hunger The server…read morewas really nice and accommodating, he explained some dishes. I tried a typical Korean white wine (7€ for a glass). It was made from plum, so it's very fruity and sweet. I ordered chicken wings for an entrée and Uke Bibimbap for my main plate. The chicken wings were freshly fried and placed in a sweet sauce with some vegetables. It wasn't spicy at all. I wish the chicken would've been fried crispy tho, the textures would've been better. Compared to bibimbap, Uke bibimbap is placed on a hot plate with the beef still raw on top. The heat from the plate will cook it as you mix all the ingredients together. I added some soy sauce and gochujang to increase the flavors and must I say, this dish fulfilled my Korean food cravings. I loveeeeeeed it so much! Will definitely dream of eating this dish again.

Cold noodle wasn't as cold as I expected, but the server gave me some ice cubes for my cold noodle. They also have lunch special menu with appetizer, salad, main dish and rice for less than €20. This place has no AC, a little bit hot inside.

I'd heard good things about Guibine, and I decided to head out for dinner on Friday night to see…read morewhat it was all about. Since I've had plenty of Korean food back in the States (especially K-Town), I wanted to see just how legitimate Korean food in Paris would be. I arrived before it opened for dinner, and there was already a small line outside: I was able to get a seat inside, but within 15-20 minutes, the restaurant was entirely packed! Goes to show that it's popular and that both locals and tourists love this spot. Opted for the classic bibimbap, which came with a good portion of banchan. The bibimbap was pretty good, served piping hot and with plenty of ingredients (carrots, cucumbers, beef, rice) inside. I would say that it tasted just like what I would get back in K-Town (aka standard), which is excellent while abroad. Perhaps it was because I came for dinner, but it was notably pricey (17 euros) compared with what I would pay for otherwise. However, the quality is pretty good, and I left full and content afterwards. Worth a try!
